Cheap Flights to Terrades from HK$311

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Terrades escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Terrades, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
